LG G2 VS980 LOCK SCREEN BASICS

Your phone automatically uses a default Lock Screen to simply prevent unintentional function activation. You can choose to secure your phone so that only you can unlock it to make calls, access your data, buy applications, and so on. For added security to guard against unauthorized use, you can set a requirement (such as face unlock, pattern, PIN, or password) that will need to be entered to unlock it. You can also set no lock screen at all.

Follow these steps to set an unlock sequence for the first time or after you disable a previously set unlock sequence.

From the Home screen, tap Apps > Settings > Lock screen

Tap Select screen lock.

Tap None, Swipe, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN or Password.

None: No lock screen is enabled so the screen will never be locked from use.

Swipe: A swipe motion in any direction on the touchscreen will unlock the screen.

Pattern: Unlocks the screen using a pattern you draw with your finger. The first time you set an unlock pattern, you will see a tutorial with instructions on how to create it. Read the tutorial and tap the Next button. Draw your pattern (connect at least 4 dots) and tap the Continue button. Then re-draw your pattern and tap the Confirm button.

Note: Follow the on-screen instructions to create a backup PIN number in case you forget your pattern.

PIN: Unlocks the screen with a number sequence. Enter a PIN (at least 4 digits) and tap the Continue button. Re-enter your PIN and tap the OK button to confirm it.
